Default JK07 Rugged Ridge Snorkel ... Fix?

Corner base, inch long crack ... Replacing the system isn't really an option ... Recommendation on fixing the crack?

Quick and dirty would be to seal it up with silicone

Industrial/ commercial silicon is probably your best bet. The plastic in those snorkels is pretty thin.

I'd contact RR directly and see if they'd sell just the affected part.

Thanks for posting ur suggestions ... Went with a plastic bonder that I picked up from AdvAuto ... Not the prettiest -yet, it will do.

I will reach out to RR, not sure what they could do w/a 4 year old system. I'm not sure about this, I thought this piece was rather large. Still, I'll reach out to RR.
